Is the effect of adding bonded atoms and lone pairs to the central atom similar? Explain why this could be the case

The atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm and of chlorine is 100 pm. the ionic radius for na+ is 102 pm and for cl– is 181 pm. in going from na to cl in period 3, why does the atomic radius decrease while the ionic radius increases? a. the inner electrons in the sodium cation shield its valence electrons more effectively than the inner electrons in the chloride anion do. b. the inner electrons shield the valence electrons more effectively in the chlorine atom than in the chloride anion. c. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a smaller effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. d. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a larger effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. e. monatomic ions are bigger than the atoms from which they are formed.

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration of dysprosium (dy) and americium (am) in noble-gas notation.

Asuspension of yeast cells is being grown under anaerobic conditions such that glucose is degraded to ethanol and carbon dioxide. if one wishes to follow this process by monitoring the release of 14co2, at which positions in the glucose molecule would the 14c label need to be incorporated?
